I always enjoyed him, I was a big "album comedy" fan when I was in high school (early 80's) and sought out the stuff from the 60's-late 70's; David was one of my favorites.

Fortunately I got to see him in the early 2000's while he was in residence at the LV Hilton, Dad and I were rolling on the floor. I always liked how he made himself laugh, and seeing in person, it was genuine the comedic introspection of his routine, he found these anecdotes funny, chose to share them with us, and that was his gift. No blue, no put downs...

best routine was the one where he thought he fooled his father into thinking he won a radio contest..."the radio contest" I think it was called...

I thought he was hilarious. I remember him subbing for Carson years ago and Elvira was on that night along with a couple of younger actor brothers. I remember one brother was like 8 and the other 4. David said, oh exactly half, do when you are 40 you will be twenty and when you are 60 you will be 30. They looked at him like he was retarded.

My wife and I saw him outside TI -
showing his young son, the pirate ships.
He was doing a "run" in Vegas.
We didn't want to bother him....it was "family time".

I can remember him exploding on to the TV -
when he first started making the TV rounds,
his act was all about his Philly roots/ characters.
he broadened his act thru the years and was a
pretty good Talk Show host, himself.

What was his illness ?
